Huge congratulations to former Chief Executive of ASH Deborah Arnott for winning the @BTSrespiratory President's Medal last night.
As BTS said, Deborah has worked tirelessly for more than twenty years to reduce the harm caused by tobacco, and this award is very well deserved!

📻Listen to @HazelCheeseman on LBC as she discusses the letter signed by over 1,200 health experts urging the swift passage of the Tobacco & Vapes Bill.
This Bill is vital to protect the health of future generations - we can’t afford further delay!

In a letter published today in the BMJ, we call for urgent action to correct misperceptions of vaping.
As long as public perceptions of vaping are misaligned with evidence, the opportunity for vaping to further reduce smoking is being missed.

For the avoidance of any doubt, Paracetamol remains the safest painkiller to take during pregnancy.
Yours sincerely,

We need the Tobacco and Vaping Bill to continue in the @UKHouseofLords asap. @thetimes today highlights the problem with 1 million smokers too ill to work (up 80% in a decade). Smokers are 3x more likely to be out of work due to poor health.

🎙️ Listen to @HazelCheeseman speaking on Times Radio about youth vaping and the urgent need to pass the Tobacco and Vapes Bill to protect children while balancing the needs of smokers to use vapes to quit.

Thank you to @BobBlackman MP, APPG on Smoking and Health Co-Chair, for pushing the Government today about the progress of the Tobacco and Vapes Bill- there is no time to waste!

👀ASH CEO @HazelCheeseman discusses the issue of the current lack of regulation of nicotine pouches, alongside a spike in children's awareness of the products.
👇
Nicotine pouches are small tea-bag-like rectangles that release nicotine into the bloodstream when placed on someone's gums.
People use them as a way to quit smoking, but experts are warning that they’re being used by teenagers, even though they’re highly addictive.

🆕polling from @AshOrgUK shows strong public support for measures to create a smokefree future, such as creating a Smokefree Generation through the Tobacco and Vapes Bill, and introducing a levy on tobacco manufacturers 🚭

Smoking kills patients with #MentalIllness too often and too early.
Pleased to see new research by @AshOrgUK - the public are on board with a smoke free future- which will greatly benefit our patients and help close the #mortalitygap

The Sands and @tommys Joint Policy Unit believes these changes would impact funding to support services to respond to national reports (specifically the @DOckendenLtd report) and to improve equity and equality in #MaternityCare.
“We have consistently highlighted the need for a much more comprehensive approach to supporting improvements in maternity safety and properly learning lessons from recent reviews and reports.
"This is a step in the wrong direction, particularly as the @labour party manifesto made a clear commitment to “ensure that trusts failing on maternity care are robustly supported into rapid improvement”.
"In light of these changes, at a time when we are not on track to meet government targets to reduce rates of stillbirth and neonatal death by 2025, clarity is required on how that commitment will be met.”
